ACP-LS Guest Post:  Life Science Social Media Monitoring  

 

The Association for Commercial Professionals – Life Sciences is a great group for our field. Mary will be speaking at the conference in September, and leading up to that she’ll be writing blog posts. Check out her first post which outlines a plan for monitoring competitors using social media and other online tools. 

Do You Do Enough Market Research?

 So many things have changed in the digital age that it is sometimes hard to judge which parts of your marketing plan should change, and which should remain constant.

Monthly Power Tool: Google Plus

Google Plus is poised to be a vital tool for brands, as we all use so many tools and data which it interfaces with. Significant advances to the platform were announced at the recent Google I/O conference and we thought the time was right to announce it as one of our power tools. It has been described as a ‘social layer’ or a ‘back channel,’ meaning that it functions to connect us in the background rather than serving as a social network such as Facebook. For example, one advance that you should pay close attention to is Google Author Rank, which will increasingly affect search engine ranking. If you have a blog, you should set up each of the authors of your blog with it, check out this presentation to learn how. Feel free to connect with us on Google Plus and let us know if you have any questions!

Affymetrix is newly branded, how do you like it? In case you forgot, the old logo had a horizontal DNA strand on the left. Interesting magenta color chosen, perhaps because red, orange, and blue were taken! Interesting, the branding is reminiscent of Nature’s SpotOn…  …?
